David Stechmann
David Stechmann is the student lead for the rocket program at the University of Washington. The team developed their "ACES" rocket over the past two academic quarters. This rocket used a sophisticated air- brake system designed to limit the rocket's peak above-ground altitude to 10,000 feet. The ACES rocket flew reasonably well at the 4th Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition, but electronic problems prevented the air-brakes from working and allowed the rocket to exceed the desired altitude. Nevertheless, the judges were impressed enough with the design, students' technical paper, and oral presentation to award them the Jim Furfaro Award for Technical Excellence, and Second Place overall.
